I received an email for a builder in New Zeeland. They have to go through a rigorous certification process for the chassis design. He is asking for weight of a finished NAERC Diablo 6.0 or Roadster and ideally the corner weights. I weighed mine as part of the registration process in Texas but that was 16 years ago and cannot find the documentation. I do recall that it was slightly less than OEM weight of 3475 pounds but can't recall the exact weight. That was based on an LS1 and Porsche transaxle.
If anyone has the information I would be happy to relay to the builder in New Zeeland. Mine was

Dale: Tell him/her to locate a speed shop, chassis shop, or circle track racer in NZ, take the car and have it put on a set of wheel scales. This will give the weight of all four corners.

I understand the options for getting the car weighed but the chassis has to be certified before the body can be mounted. Kind of a catch 22. That's why he is asking for the weight to complete certification process.

Thanks Dale and fellow members for your input.
Brief detail for the finished weight requirements . It relates to the use of C5 aluminium front suspension spindles loaded through the upper ball joint and A arm in the NAERC design. The finished car weight was required for calculations to prove the aluminium spindle fit for purpose. Long story short we have relocated the shock absorber to the lower A arm our chassis is finally approved I can now progress the body installation.
